Personally I think there's way too many colors going on here...

chrome, blue, CF, tint, bronze...

Sticking with black would be your best bet IMO

I like them just the way they are. Do what you wish but don't end up in the 'mods i regret' thread.

Well, since i've actually seen your car in person. I personally think that you should leave it the way it is. Every color meshes well together and I don't think you should change one bit of it.

Or yeah... just keep it the way it is. It really does look great the way it is man. But I understand when you've had a mod for awhile it gets boring...

you should change the poll to display other color options (i.e. Bronze, gold, satin black etc.)

personally - i strongly agree with getting them in GOLD - that'd be freakin' beautiful

p.s.- ditch the chrome door handles

so are you just getting bored of the look or do you have a new theme/look in mind?
Im also considering getting rid of my Volks, two pieces are just too much maintenance.

I think you should get these painted Gold. The matrix looks really similar to the Volk GT-V's. GOLD!

i say do it! your only painting them, so if it turns out you dont like it you can just re paint them. it be cheaper than buying other rims.

Blue cars with black wheels and either chrome or silver lips have always looked good to me.
